Cuts must be part of the plan

The best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry.

Plan? What plan? There is no plan.

The Republicans solve the crises they created? Gimme a break, they'll just shift the costs to the folks who can pay for it, and that would be you. If anybody is going to have to make any cuts, it will be you.

Let President Obama have control? You would have to be crazy.

The debt is a death of a thousand cuts.

Here's an idea: Let's go back to being a constitutional republic, abide by the Constitution and do what it says to do.

Right now, the Constitution is just a piece of paper with some words that carry no weight and have no real meaning.

The gov could care less about the the Constitution.

Or, does returning to a constitutional republic make too much sense?

Only in an alternate universe can you rack up bills with no hope or eal intention of paying them.

And that's Democrat and Republican alike.

"Cuts must be part of the plan" has WAY too much common sense to be considered in DC today.

It's a party and they'll spend if they want to...

I know the enemies of my Democrat Party will continue their "war on women" and say this IS something that should be "cut"...but that just is not forword-think.

Cuts must be part of plan and that must include the state of ND. and all the other states that can afford to cut back from the federal welfare.

And the MDN DID delete this posting of a University program....if a public university can put on such a program, why can not a newspaper print that university's public notice of it? Go figure. The MDN and the state of ND are not as far forword as the rest of the country....I feel.

"Conservatives want to cut spending". Eh...where? What do they want to cut? Form the words, make the sounds. Commit. Or would that be too risky? Even too risk to mention in a backwater newspaper opinion article. Here's a start...defence. I wonder if there's anything there worth cutting? And I wonder how long it'll be before I'm called a cowardly/blame America firster.

Oh, Oh, Rush Limpman just posited the idea that if the Dems take the house in 2014, they'll try to repel the Amendment limiting Pres. terms...And he talks about "low information voters" HaH!!!

JackAaah, should we be reading your "fake democrat" posts with that new castrati voice that the Limpman uses? You know, a little lisp, slightly effeminate. I'm thinking it may round out the shtick, make it more authentic for us. I'm trying to be helpful here. I feel the routine needs a little punch. We'll do our part at this end to come together.

"New castrati?"

Whaat?

The subject was about "cuts" being part of the plan, but isn't that taking it a little far...

3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »

rahi, we must come together in believing that this women's issue put on by the University is a program that moves us, and especially women, moving us forword.

Did you hear your buddy Rush talking about that public university program? One of my conservative enemies told me he had a BIG segment on it. I don't think I could come together with my Democrat Party, to move forword any longer, if I listened to him...

....someone told me this U of MN program is now the talk of the nation....it's all over. We for sure can come together to agree on that....

I can always spot fiction from reality based stories when they start out with "Conservatives in Congress"...Now the rest of this fantasy based editorial has a villian (Obama)...and hyperbole tactics (16.5 trillion) to scare the bejesus into believing todays polilitcs and policies are like no other dragon seen before.....OOOOHH...Scary!

And like all great suspenseful stories, the time sequencing of the Prince (Boehner)riding to the rescue in May with all the answers give us great hope and anticipation of a more peaceful America. The End.

I want to see the specifics of these spending cuts that these conservatives want to cut. Put them out there if they want the people to support it we need to know what they are!

1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse »

lorexxx why hasn't the house pushed these cuts through instead of all these stupid abortion and planned parenthood obstruction bills they did the past four years?

2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »

lorexxx that is why the conservatives need to come up with a more compromised bill that will pass to move this country forward. If they do not the republican party looks like the obstructionist party of the past and will continue to lose more public support and more elections!

I agree with WA - we of the Democrat Party must continue to obstruct any spending cuts legislation....becuase we know that we can just continue to blame the Republicans for not "getting the people's work done". And we will get by with it, because we have the MSM on our side. And not only spending legislation...we can stop virtually all, and blame Republicans, and get by with it...

And, lor, just how will me and my other peeps get gifts....for votes? If you get all those cuts?
